Dear Shippers.....
Let's start with there's no truck driver shortage. This is a lie you're being sold to appease you. While brokers try to find the cheapest possible truck. Most of the time when a broker gives you a rate they've already spoken to multiple carriers that are willing to move the loads. You are being strung along. Cheap trucks have cheap truck results. My preference someone has a pile of stuff over here that they want moved over there. I spoke to a broker about a month and a half ago about a situation like this. We were off by 150 dollars per load. So I moved on. The broker called me last week and ask if I was still willing to move the loads at my previous rate. I had forgotten about the load. I was waiting on something else to start and felt like I could finish the loads without creating conflict for myself. I finished them Sunday. This guy let his customer's freight sit for a month trying to nickel and dime the actual person that was doing all the work. Stop falling for the lie.
